White + Wood

About This Kitchen Remodeling Project

Kitchen & Laundry Scope:

• Kitchen & Laundry: Existing footprint (internal walls moved).

Problem:

• Plan: Inefficient due to distances, angled walls, odd-shaped island

• Materials: Dated materials, finishes & door style. An old garden window faced an unattractive view.

Solution:

• Plan: Move interior walls for better workflow, distancing & zones (prep/clean-up, cooking, food storage & island seating facing each other). Laundry gained garage entrance closet, mudroom & tidier recessed stacked washer/dryer.

• Materials: Cabinets are synthetic material (smooth surface, easy-clean, scratch resistant), soft matte white counter & cabinets, mixed with textured wood grain, similar to existing floors. Strong but proportionate architectural wood elements add interest.

Other:

• Aging in Place was also applied – layout, easy cleaning, storage, ergonomics, etc.

Personality / Style:

• Fresh, updated, more contemporary style, but classic. Large-scale cabinets & hardware.

• Organic wood textures & scaled application add distinction & contrast (vs. the harder All White cliché version) = the unique stamp & style they wanted.

 Testimonial:

“Rhonda took our wish lists, turned them into options & solutions we’d never considered. Her professional process with extremely detailed plans, specifications & product selections created organization, firm pricing & smoother production. Along with greatly improved space use, her unique application of materials with proper scale & proportion were just the professional differences we were looking for. She delivers.”
